Tong Fei hung up the phone with a satisfied smile, and Song Can noticed her slightly upturned lips, knowing that she was pleased with Gu Shaotingâs response.
âAuntie, what do you think of these wedding rings?â Tong Fei immediately showed them to Song Can.
âTheyâre lovely. Your taste is the best, and you donât need my opinion,â Song Can replied cheerfully. âAfter you two get married, make sure to give me a cute grandson.â
Tong Fei blushed, but at the same time, she felt conflicted. What if she had a child and her figure changed? She needed to think carefully about this matter.
After buying the rings, Song Can and Tong Fei spent a long time shopping around before Song Can finally returned home.
Not long after she had sat down, Gu Shaoting surprisingly returned from outside. It seemed the sun was about to rise from the west.
âI canât be mistaken, can I? Youâve come back so early? Have you finished everything?â Song Can sarcastically remarked.
Gu Shaoting turned a deaf ear and said, âIâve finished. Thank you for your hard work today. â
âItâs not hard, Iâm just worried that Tong Fei might have some thoughts,â Song Can sighed, feeling anxious about her sonâs wedding.
âIâll explain it to her,â Gu Shaoting replied indifferently.
âShaoting, I want to ask you something. Have you left any âseedsâ outside in recent years? Could there be children born to you that you donât know about?â Song Can asked with uncertainty.
âWhy would you say that? Mom, what are you thinking? I can count the number of women who have been intimate with me using one hand. How could there be children I donât know about?â Gu Shaoting was somewhat exasperated and couldnât fathom where Song Can was getting these notions.
âToday, I met a little girl at the mall. She had a ponytail, those bright black eyes, and a straight little nose. She looked like she was made from the same mold as you,â Song Can explained vividly.
Gu Shaoting immediately refuted, âIt couldnât be my daughter; my daughter hasnât been born yet.â He thought about it and realized that if he did have a daughter, it would only be with Shu Pan. However, he quickly dismissed the thought because he made sure she took birth control pills every time, so there was no chance.
âAfter you get married, remember to try harder with Tong Fei,â Song Can said, looking disappointed. The girl had called her âGrandmaâ in such a soft and tender voice that it melted her heart.
âAlright, donât overthink it. Let things take their course,â Gu Shaoting suggested, thinking perhaps Song Can had too much time on her hands.
Hearing Song Canâs words, Gu Shaoting suddenly thought that if he hadnât divorced Shu Pan and gone through all those ups and downs, he might have children old enough to play around by now.
But in life, how many things could you really predict in advance?
Since their last encounter during the villa renovation, he hadnât run into her again. He had tried a few times to coincidentally meet her but had no luck, and it left him feeling a bit down.
Now that he was engaged to Tong Fei, he planned to settle down with her. Still, his heart seemed increasingly difficult to manage, as thoughts of Shu Pan, her shy face, and her perfectly proportioned body kept coming to mind.
At home, Shu Pan sneezed several times, feeling as if someone was talking about her. She suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she had taken Joy to visit her father and Auntie Lu in Lotus Town.
She planned to take Joy there this weekend because her fatherâs health was not good, and that was her greatest concern. She also wanted Joy to bring some happiness to them.
Watching the tired but happy Joy, Shu Pan felt a sense of peace in her heart. Everything would be okay, and she seriously contemplated her own life
